First embargoed in 2016 through North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016. Sanctioned due to human rights violations and constant building of nuclear arms. Resulted in opposite effect, as nuclear test skyrocketed through the years during Kim Jong Un's reign.

Syria

Major sanctions were set on Syria by the U.S and other countries in 2011, as the response of the Syrian Civil War. Lead to more difficulty in providing humanitarian aid as sanctions make it harder for supplies to get through.

Iran

Sanctioned after the seizure of the U.S embassy in Tehran in 1979. Sanctions prevent from pharmaceuticals and health aid to be distributed, and it has affected its economy as well.

Crimea

Sanctions were imposed after Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. The sanctions have managed to weaken the Crimean economy as a result.

Cuba

U.S set an embargo on Cuba following Castro's rise in power. This has led a higher cost in medical supplies and in living, to the point where it is better being a taxi driver than a doctor.
